I saved my Air from RTHing away

To close this issue, all of this subject is actually PILOT ERROR!
Pilot error for not reading the manual and for being stubborn.
msimger was completly right.
I got my Mavic Air after owning a Mavic Pro for over 1 year and I fell into the error of thinking I knew how RTH operated, so I skipped the RTH pages.
But the Pro failsafe RTH differs from the Air failsafe RTH.
The Air indeed tries to retrace it's original flight path home.
For everyone who didn't knew this, now you know!
For the ones who did knew, I apologize for taking some of your time.
What I really feel bad about was that msinger did said it a while back and I kept the mistrust, because I really didn't thought there could be such a difference in RTH function between the Pro and the Air. msinger I'm really sorry!
Lesson learned, we are ALWAYS learning.

I recommend rolling back your software to iOS equivalent v4.0.8 and your firmware to v01.03.0700. Turn off all the Object Avoidance crud and just don't fly into buildings or trees. Those versions are rock-solid reliable.

For your next question, Google it. They generally don't allow hacking discussion here.
